Game Description:
Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City is a spin on the classic survival horror franchise. Set during the events of Resident Evil 2 & 3, Umbrella has issued a squad of soldiers to clean up evidence that links the evil corporation to the T-virus outbreak in Raccoon City that resulted in a zombie apocalypse. The game is played from a third-person viewpoint and at all times you are in a four-person squad. The game tries to offer an exciting, smoother-playing, and tactical experience and partially achieves this goal. The controls are among some of the best in the series, but the game is actually very boring due to repetition, a poorly-scripted story, unimpressive graphics, and horrendous squad and enemy A.I.

Reviewers Thoughts
Although, I am a big fan of the series, this game was a let-down on so many levels. Fun can be had, but in spurts. Just like previous games in the series, Resident Evil: ORC is for mature gamers only.
